Maximus Distortium Vert - High Gain Distortion

From the vendor

Metal mayhem in a box that emulates some sweet fully Kranked amps, now in a more board-friendly vertical 1590B format. High gain distortion with a simple 3-band EQ that should serve up enough chug for most. Wind back the mids for a classic scooped thrash tone, or tease them back in for more in-your-face modern metal. Even with the gain full up you won't loose your nimble fretwork in a mush of fizz. Clarity is king here. With the gain back you can get some nice drive sounds that are outside the metal realm. Options? Yes. How about a boutique box of tone-melt based on the DistMax? Someone went crazy-ape with a tone-stack calculator and swapped out a few components to come up with what we'll call the Rotten Corpse. Slightly heavier, though there's not a great deal in it to be honest. The kit is supplied with vertical-mount pots which have round shafts, so you'll need set-screw fitting knobs. The spacing is fairly tight at 17.5mm, so you'll need small knobs. If you want the PCB without parts there's a link for that at the bottom of the page. Partial kit: PCB, all board-mounted components, pots. Full kit: As above, plus footswitch and appropriate daughterboard/components for your selected bypass type (see Downloads section for details of those), jack sockets, DC socket, battery snap, hook-up wire, LED. Enclosure (pre-drilled) is available as an option with full kits, and will not take a battery. Knobs are not included. Builds are only available with full kits including enclosure. Please choose appropriate knobs.
